It had been about two years since our friend Richard passed away, and John never really seemed to recover from that. He had gotten into an argument with Richard before it happened, and I’m convinced on some level that he blames himself for the way things had gone. I remember at Richard’s funeral, John made an attempt to make amends with Richard’s

Excellent and sympathetic to so many feelings.

A very good portrayal of how we hide what really matters and shut loved ones out.

Like this entry.

A very very moving piece. So many people swallow their feelings at the expense of their relationships with those they love.

Touching. It's amazing how fast we blame ourselves for the deaths of others, or for other misfortunes. Also how easily we shut our loved ones out.

This is a really lovely,touching story. I like that John finally came out and admitted what was plagueing him,as communication is so important in relationships.

Very well-written, and I wanted to hug John a lot.
